It's interesting to learn more about the curation process.

I think an understanding can be reached with some more big stake holders regarding tolerable antics. I've even noticed a few of the names you subtlety mentioned curating a little more. Others will just continue fighting until Steem prices rise and win, the day. But my guess is they aren't gonna cash out and disappear when they made their investment back. I think they made a mistake investing in Steem with a traditional investing view. It's a social platform, stakeholders can't be abusive actors.
